1 Aspirational Districts Programme

The ‘Transformation of Aspirational Districts’ Programme aims to expeditiouslyimprove the socio-economic status of 117 districts from across 28 states. The threecore principles of the programme are - Convergence (of Central & State Schemes),Collaboration (among citizens and functionaries of Central & State Governmentsincluding district teams), and Competition among districts. Driven primarily by theStates, this initiative focuses on the strengths of each district, and prioritizes theattainable outcomes for immediate improvement.

1.1 Themes

The programme focusses on 5 main themes - Health & Nutrition, Education,Agriculture & Water Resources, Financial Inclusion & Skill Development, and BasicInfrastructure, which have direct bearing on the quality of life and economicproductivity of citizens. 81 data-points are tracked regularly through a dashboard.The dashboard can be accessed at http://championsofchange.gov.in

Table 1.1: Themes, weight, and number of data-pointsTheme Weight Data-points

Health & Nutrition 30% 31Education 30% 14Agriculture & Water Resources 20% 12Financial Inclusion 5% 6Skill Development 5% 10Basic Infrastructure 10% 8

Total 100% 81

Health & Nutrition With 30% of the overall weight allotted, health & nutrition has31 data-points. They focus on antenatal care, postnatal care, gender parity, health ofnew-born, growth of children, contagious diseases, and health infrastructure.

1

Education The education sector accounts for 30% of the overall index. 14data-points have been identi�ed focussing on learning outcomes (transition ratefrom primary to upper primary, and subsequently to secondary schooling, averagescores in mathematics and languages etc.), as well as infrastructural (toilet accessfor girls, drinking water, electricity supply) and institutional indicators (RTEmandated pupil-teacher ratio, timely delivery of textbooks).

Agriculture & Water Resources Agriculture is the backbone of India, with more than50% of our workforce engaged in cultivation and allied activities. 12 data-pointshave been identi�ed for the 20% weight allocated to agriculture. The focus is onoutputs (yield, price realisation etc.), inputs (quality seed distribution, soil healthcards), and institutional support (crop insurance, electronic markets, arti�cialinsemination, animal vaccination etc.).

Financial Inclusion & Skill Development Together, these two themes account for10% of the overall index. 6 data-points have been identi�ed in �nancial inclusion tomeasure progress in take-up of important central government schemes (Atal PensionYojana, Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana etc.), reach of institutional banking(number of accounts opened under Jan Dhan Yojana), and ease of institutional�nancing for small businesses (disbursement of Mudra loans). 10 data-points havebeen identi�ed in skill development to keep track of the progress in skilling of youth,employment, and the skilling of vulnerable/marginalized youth under PradhanMantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY).

Basic Infrastructure Housing for all with water, electricity, and road connectivity isthe priority of the Government. 8 important data-points have been identi�edincluding availability of individual household latrines, drinking water, electricity, androad connectivity. Districts are also tracked for the number of internet connectedGram Panchayats, and panchayats with Common Service Centres.

1.2 Institutional Arrangement

The Aspirational Districts Programme is a product of collective e�ort in whichStates are the main drivers. At Government of India level, programme is anchored byNITI Aayog. In addition, individual Ministries have assumed responsibility to driveprogress of districts. For each district, a central Prabhari o�cer of the rank ofAdditional Secretary/Joint Secretary has been nominated. An Empowered Committeeunder the convener-ship of CEO, NITI Aayog has been noti�ed to ensure convergencein schemes and address speci�c issues brought out by Prabhari o�cers. States havebeen requested to form a committee under Chief Secretary to implement theprogramme. States have also nominated nodal o�cers and also State level Prabhario�cers.

Core Strategy of the programme may be summarized as follows.

• States as main drivers

• Work on the strength of each district.

• Make development as a mass movement in these districts.

• Identify low hanging fruits and the strength of each district, to act as a catalystfor development.

• Measure progress and rank districts to spur a sense of competition.

• Districts shall aspire to become State’s best to Nation’s best.

Real-time monitoring & ranking 49 Key performance indicators (81 data points)have been identi�ed across 5 themes, in consultation with Ministries. The dashboardis designed, developed, and maintained by the Planning Department of theGovernment of Andhra Pradesh. The ranking of districts is dynamic and would re�ectthe incremental (delta) improvement made month on month. Some of the importantdata points are being validated by third-party agencies. To that end, NITI Aayog ispartnering with two survey agencies, namely Tata Trusts and IDInsight, in 76 and 25districts respectively.

2 Evidence based Governance and rankingof districts

Oneof the core strategies of the programme is to ensure that District teams have thebene�t of current data so that they can �ne tune their response and improve impactof their e�ort. This also allows ranking of the districts in terms of progress achieved.This ranking is based on incremental (delta) change in the performance indicatorsbetween March 31, 2018 to May 31, 2018.

The purpose of this ranking is to spur a sense of competition among dynamicteams in districts. Since these districts face many challenges including legacy,unexploited or weak resource base, de�cit of manpower at di�erent level due todi�cult living conditions etc, the ranking is also a tool to identify sectors andindicator speci�c challenges so that the “Team India” which is driving thisprogramme can take corrective measures.

Hence this ranking is dynamic. Several districts that had ranked low in the baselineranking released in April 2018 have shown remarkable improvement. Similarly,districts that are ranked low in this delta ranking have to accept the challenge ofdramatically improving their ranks in coming months.

Thepresent delta ranking is largely based on data �lled by District teams. NITI Aayoghas entered into partnership with Tata Trusts, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundations(ID Insight) to assist the districts in enumerating improvement in key performanceindicators a through household survey. The result of the survey is expected in Julyand would be available with regular periodicity therea�er. This would be factoredinto the next delta ranking.

2.1 First Delta Ranking

States have worked hard in the last two months to improve the socio-economicstatus of their aspirational districts. Telangana, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu have shownthe maximum progress, while Jammu & Kashmir, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh have towork harder.

Most & Least Improved Districts Based on the data entered to the Champions ofChange dashboard, Table 2.1 lists districts that have shown an increase of more than10 points in their composite score, and Table 2.2 gives the districts with less than 3points improvement. Full ranking1 are provided at the end of this booklet, and fullsectoral ranks have been uploaded to NITI Aayog’s website.

3.5 Skill Development

By 2020, the median age of India’s population is estimated to be 28, while that ofChina, US, and Japan will be 37, 45, and 49 respectively. This is a massive opportunityas well as challenge for the country. A skilled workforce is necessary to continue our

14

fast paced growth and pull millions out of poverty. The Pradhan Mantri Kaushal VikasYojana, a �agship programme of the Government of India, enables a large number ofIndian youth to take up industry-relevant skill training that will help them in securinga better livelihood. The following are the most and marginally improving districtsunder skill development.
